LawVS - The Ladder Man

It's official. Carlos Sainz will NOT shut up when racing an F1 car. That's a good thing.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsShoutout to StevieTheNarwhal for the chart used in this video: https://www.tumblr.com/steviethenarwhal/803143198554882049/carlos-sainz-talks-a-boatloat-driver-radioAccording to a brilliant fan-made chart, Williams F1 driver Carlos Sainz has BY FAR established himself as the best value Formula 1 racer on the grid. Talking for OVER NINE HOURS in races with his team as they surged up to fifth place in the constructors'. How does this constant feedback work with the team's uptick throughout the 2025 season...and how does it further legitimise their claim on their first win next season since Pastor Maldonado back in 2012?And oh yes, Alex Albon has benefitted from this too! #f1 #carlossainz #formula1 #formulaone #f12025 #f12026 #formula12026 #alexalbon #jamesvowles #f1news #f1teams #f1drivers #f1latest #f1updates #f1drama #williamsf1 #williamsracing #williamsf1team Carlos Sainz Won't Shut Up! that's a good thing.https://youtu.be/sMkgXcNNKucGet 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAffCan't watch the ladder?

Looks like Red Bull haven't heard the last of Christian Horner! The Alpine talks intensify.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsNow that the 2025 F1 season is done and dusted, the rumours surrounding former RBR boss Christian Horner joining up with Flavio Briatore have resurfaced, all in the wake of a major Alpine shareholder looking to sell up in the not too distant future; putting Alpine's worth at $2.4 billion! With his settlement cash plus other powerful connections and investors, Horner's arrival as a potential stakeholder and advisor could become effectively Red Bull 2.0...and a major thorn in Laurent Mekies' side.Or could the former team principal be ready in case Renault, once again, pulls out of Formula 1 and step in to their shoes?

How did we do this year? Well, not as good as last year...thanks, Pierre Gasly...Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsBefore the 2025 Formula 1 season began, I took it upon myself to predict where everyone would finish in the championship, including the teams. This is my third go at this and have I made improvements in that time? Well, look for yourself!McLaren and Lando Norris made me look clever...whilst Alpine made me look delusional and a few midfield surprises (Hulkenberg, Hadjar, Racing Bulls) blew my preseason logic apart. I keep score with my own points system and finish with my final total for the season plus what I learned for 2026.

Charles Leclerc spelt it out to Ferrari. It's now or never. They're betting the farm on 2026 for their own survival.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsNext year's driver market is going to be bananas and Charles Leclerc's camp knows this. In a similar position to Max Verstappen over at Red Bull, the Ferrari furniture driver is weighing up his options understandably. Why WOULDN'T you at least look? It could mean his 2029 endpoint may never be met if Ferrari do not throw the SF25 concept in the bin. As for Lewis Hamilton, his advice may be ignored completely and is that fair for such a man taking such a major risk on his own legacy to serve a boyhood dream? Well, one thing is for sure. Ferrari are DEFINITELY in a crisis situation and doing everything they can to project unity and calm despite many unknowns!#f1 #scuderiaferrari #lewishamilton #charlesleclerc #ferrarif1 #ferrarif1team #f12026 #f1news #f1teams #f1drivers #f1latest #f1updates #f1drama #leclerc #hamilton #oliverbearman #rafaelcamara #formula12025 #formula1 #formulaoneGet 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAffFerrari Scorching Itself to Begin Again.

F1 2025 has had its highs and lows...and those who were so-so. But mostly hot and cold!Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsHow did Formula 1 drivers fare over the 2025 season? McLaren won out in both titles whilst rookies like Isack Hadjar and Oliver Bearman doing more than enough to showcase their future in Formula One is safe and bright. However, the likes of Lewis Hamilton came across a horse-shaped brick wall this year whilst Charles Leclerc kept the tifosi hoping for more...and Fernando Alonso?

Honda Racing's president's desire for Aston Martin to dominante ASAP is bad news for Lance Stroll.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsHRC's lead Koji Watanabe spoke to Aston Martin's F1 website about his excitement in working with Adrian Newey and the AMR project going into 2026 and beyond. What is clear though is that the ambition of Honda has reached a whole other level...especially given Toyota's increased involvement in Formula 1 in its expanded work with Haas. Is there room for Lance Stroll in all of this or is Papa Stroll's ever-dwindling control of the Formula One team a sign of things to come as the team evolves into the new era of the sport.Could we see a Saudi-backed Honda team led by Newey and the Strolls sent packing to salvage AM Lagonda?#f1 #astonmartin #lancestroll #astonmartinf1 #hondaracingteam #honda #redbullracing #adriannewey #papastroll #f1news #f1latest #f12026 #f1drivers #f1teams #f1updates #formula12026 #f1dramaThe End of the Stroll Era Begins Herehttps://youtu.be/YTJ-1T5SRxAGet 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAffCan't watch the ladder?

Helmut Marko is poised to be ousted from Red Bull. What does that mean for Max Verstappen?Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsIn a surprise twist AFTER the 2025 F1 season was won by Lando Norris, Red Bull Racing's special advisor Helmut Marko is set to be removed from involvement with the Formula 1 team for its 2026 campaign. The specifics are not yet clear. Will he retire fully or be relegated into something far less frontline such as the Formula One paddock. What happened? Has Isack Hadjar been spared a tense 2026?Well, quite a lot. The last few weeks packed with controversial driver contracts and ragebait toward Kimi Antonelli after the Qatar GP.
